Make sure to click the email confirmation link. The gym is bouldering only with 2 large walls with climbs rated by a numbering system. The holds still feel really new so prepare to lose some skin. I did see that they have bandages at the front if you do get cut up. In terms of amenities, there are cubbies for your belongings, and a coat hanger for jackets. They also have the fancy water refill stations that you see at the airport. I was really impressed with the setting. I'm a pretty average climber but there were lower level climbs that were still interesting and not just up and down ladders. It keeps things interesting. The owner, Brian, came over once to check on me during my climbing session and to get feedback which I appreciated. I also confirmed that well-behaved dogs are allowed in the gym!

Chris was working reception when we arrived, and he was incredibly helpful with shoe rentals and for tips while trying different climbs! He was very friendly and was efficient in giving us a quick rundown of the gym. They even have a wall where people can take a climbing break to draw pictures and make requests for specific climbs. I will definitely be returning to climb again!

What's great about the place is that if you go before 4 pm on weekdays or the last two hours of the day, it's less than $20 incl. shoes and chalk rentals. I'll definitely be back.

Spontaneously decided to rock climb with some friends as a fun activity on a Sunday afternoon. We…read moreare complete novices to climbing. We were intimidated by the reviews about how crowded Basecamp Queen W is, so we decided to come down to the east end to check out Rock On as the reviews made it seem much chiller. When we arrived the staff asked us if we had climbed before, and because we hadn't, he gave us a lesson on safety tips (how to fall correctly) as well as how to locate/navigate the different holds. After a useful hands-on demonstration we were off to try some climbs. We worked our way around to all the climbs VB, V0 and V1 level (some successfully topped, some not) and had a lot of adrenaline pumping fun. Overall we were very scared to try rock climbing for the first time but we felt like we were in good hands with the staff here. On a Sunday afternoon it was also not very busy so we had a lot of time to try the same climbs over and over, and didn't have to wait much. I would definitely recommend for any beginner, and it looked like there were some advanced climbers as well!

If you have previously filled out a waiver of these gyms semi-recently, they should be able to find you in the system so you don't have to do it again. This is one of their newer offerings and it shows! The gym is really shiny and new, the holds still quite abrasive on the skin if you rub them the wrong way haha. I thought the set up was quite grand - two huge walls that go from the front of the gym all the way to the back. They were able to work in overhangs and slab problems well across the walls. Everything felt seamless and the problems were interesting. They have some branded merch at the front which is great if you forgot any of your work out clothes at home. They also have a selection of shoes, chalk bags, and accessories. Interestingly they have lip balm that is themed by the different sister gyms. The change rooms here are sort of co-ed. There are lockers back here and changerooms that are single stalls kind of like you would see at a clothing store with cloth curtains. There is also a sink here which is communal. The parking was a tad difficult because there was a wedding going on at a banquet hall that shares the lot. There's also a church there with a lot of reserved parking. Make sure that you check for any reserved signs so you don't get towed!

Came here to use a Groupon that I bought in January, $30 for 2 ppl for a 2 hr slot + intro session…read moreincluding shoe rental. It was our first time bouldering and we were at our physical worst (lmao thanks to covid) to do this activity. Still, it was a lot of fun and a great introduction to bouldering. I'd definitely recommend for people looking to try something challenging and new. We signed the waiver and booked our slot online (the booking system only allowed us to book 3 days in advance, for time slots of 12-2pm, 3-5pm, and 6-8pm). Since it was our first time, we had a quick 5-10 min intro session on how to climb, helped us find climbing shoes that fit, explained the colour coding, and how to safely jump down from the wall. The staff were nice and gave us tips and tricks for trying the different levels. After that, they left us to climb on our own. The facility was bright and clean, with good air flow, mats for people to jump down to, and lots of space between us and the other people climbing. The gym is colour coded (the tape, not the rocks) and we completed all the beginner/yellow ones and just a couple of the next level/orange ones. There is a lot of variety and challenge for advanced climbers, not so much for beginners, but we really didn't have the energy/endurance to get that far so it was alright. When we went, most people present seemed to be advanced/experienced climbers. It was really interesting watching them attempt the harder climbs and seeing what they did to complete them. For the average person, they make it seem easy, but when you do it yourself, it's far far harder than it looks. Personally, while I understood the technique from watching, executing it was a completely different story. Originally, we were worried a 2 hr slot during Covid (previously the Groupon was a day pass I believe) wouldn't be enough time, but it was. It's such a challenging physical activity, my friend and I were both exhausted by the end of it. After our first climb, we were a bit surprised how much muscle/arm strength it took to hoist ourselves up there. By the end, our fingers were throbbing, hands rough, and after getting home, our muscles were sore for a couple days after. Since like 90% of the walls are slanted/angled, when we reached a problem we couldn't figure out on the wall, we had to jump down since it was too tiring to hang around on it. The slanted walls made the climbs much more challenging than a straight wall, since for some climbs you're at an angle where gravity is pulling you back and you need muscle strength just to keep yourself on the wall, let alone move to the next rock. For newbies interested in coming here, I'd say definitely bring more water than you think you need, conserve your energy, take breaks, and know your limits. I think people who regularly work out (especially their arms/fingers) would likely have an easier time, since the activity takes a lot of finger strength, but even for beginners, it was a lot of fun trying something new - I enjoyed the problem solving/activity aspect to bouldering, which made it a fun way to exercise.

The Kilter Board hydraulics have been down for…read moreabout 2-3 months now, and there's been little to no clear communication or timeline for when it'll actually be fixed. That's a major feature of the gym, and a big reason why a lot of people go there. It's frustrating to keep paying full price when equipment like this isn't available for such a long time. Maintenance issues happen, but this has gone on way too long without proper updates or solutions. Definitely expected better. The setting team also lacks the ability to consistently set a high volume of climbs. They recently started setting 2/3 of a wall instead of the entire thing. The prices aren't worth this type of effort they're producing considering that Hub Climbing is on one of the higher ends of pricing.

After waiting for 30 minutes, my oldest child went to the monkey bars, but even though he was just standing there, they told him to come back and keep waiting. They insisted we wait until someone was available to assist us. My kids do not need help with monkey bars or rock climbing, at least not my 12 years child who has done it many times before. Then, one of the staff members claimed I wasn't following their policy and accused me of trespassing. Their only policy seemed to be making us wait. What started as excitement quickly turned into us being treated like criminals. The customer service was terrible. I'm glad I didn't spend any money there, and in just two minutes, they lost $110 from us. I also found out they charge an extra $15 to rent harnesses and shoes, on top of the ticket price. If I could, I'd give them zero stars.

The facility is geared towards extreme amateurs like my wife and I to very advance climbers. It was also really cool to watch the more experienced climbers.

My friends and I wanted to try a new activity in the area. We heard of this new place opening up…read moreand decided to check it out. This is called bouldering, so rock climbing without a harness. The harness is available for people who want it (young and old), however you are only able to do some obstacles, as the harnesses can't be on all the walls. This is a completely new facility. You have to sign a waiver when you first climb here. This was my first experience with climbing and I do not have very good upper body strength, however this shouldn't stop you!!! The walls are labeled with levels of difficulty, and you work your way up gradually based on your comfort level. There are shoes available for rent here, as well as locker, and chalk. There is plenty of room to store your personal belongings on shelves. You can also bring your own lock so that you do not have to rent a lock. You are given a quick tour on your first day and also shown how to fall safely. There are thick mats under all the walls, however it is important to follow the falling instructions to prevent injury. As a first time climber, I was nervous at first (because heights aren't my thing) but after a few easy climbs, I really got into it. Expect to be very sore the next day if this is your first time! You will be using muscles you have never used before. I saw people of all ages and skill level. There were even children as young as 7 years of age. There are definitely more challenging walls that even expert climbers will find difficult. I really enjoyed this experience and can't wait to return! Get out there and climb! :)
